The police in Imo State said on Monday they had yet to unravel the circumstances that led to the death of popular Nigerian actor, Sam Loco Efe. It is suspected that he died of asthma. He was reportedly found dead on Sunday morning with ventolin inhalers beside him in the hotel room where he lodged. The room was forced open after he failed to come down after retiring the previous night. Contrary to reports that he was on location in Owerri, Imo State, he was actually in Owerri editing a yet untitled film produced by Bayelsa State born Favour Ogosi.
The Imo State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Mr. Linus Nwaiwu is quoted as saying that investigations had commenced following insinuations that the actor might have died in unusual circumstances as he said: “We have yet to unravel what killed Sam Loco. We are still looking at the issues and events that may have led to his death. As soon as we find a lead, we will make our findings public.
“… So it is still too early to say what killed him. We wouldn’t want to work on hearsay; that is why we are taking our time to unravel the cause of his death,” he added.
The Edo state governor Adams Oshiomole, President Jonathan and Governor Raji Fashola have all sent condolence messages to the Efe family.
